Sime Darby Property Expands Industrial Footprint With Elmina Business Park 2

Expanding its industrial footprint across the Northern lang Valley, Sime Darby Property Berhad has launched Elmina Business Park 2 in January this year as part of its expansion into Rawang, following the success of Elmina Business Park. Comprising industrial lots and ready-built factories, its maiden launch of Phases 1A and 1B, offering a total of 19 freehold industrial land lots, has received a favourable response, with an estimated take-up of 70%.

Located just 2km north of Elmina Business Park, Elmina Business Park 2 spans across 600 acres with a total GDV of RM1.72 billion and consists of 72 units of semi-detached factories and industrial lots ranging from 2 to 4 acres, offering built-to-suit and built-to-lease options. The development benefits from direct access via the dedicated Lagong interchange from the Guthrie Corridor, providing strong connectivity to the North-South Expressway and LATAR, both located approximately 2km from the GCE exit. In addition, Elmina Business Park 2 also boasts multi-modal connectivity with Kuang KTM within 2km, two future ECRL stations – Serendah and Puncak Alam within a 20km drive, and Subang Airport within 25km.

“The intention of Elmina Business Park was to revolutionise industrial townships, and we continue to focus on creating a thriving ecosystem where businesses can grow and prosper,” said Sime Darby Property’s Chief Operating Officer – Township Development, Appollo Leong. “With Elmina Business Park 2 in Rawang, we are delivering the same world-class standards and freehold advantage in a strategically located, high-growth corridor. The limited units remaining present a timely opportunity for businesses to secure land in a development that supports long-term growth, operational efficiency and workforce wellbeing.”

Elmina Business Park is recognised as Klang Valley’s largest freehold industrial business park, masterplanned across 1,500 acres to integrate business functionality with sustainability-focused design. The park is equipped with comprehensive infrastructure and world-class facilities, including a proposed business support centre, staff accommodation facilities, commercial centres, and over 110 acres of parklands to promote employee rejuvenation and wellbeing.

Previous milestones of Elmina Business Park include the 100% take-up of The Signature Collection Twin Factories and being the first business park to house Google’s first hyperscale data centre, scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2026. These achievements highlight the strong market demand and continued confidence from local and multinational businesses operating in the park.

“Coyote vs ACME” Gets Theatrical Release Date; Takes Jab At WB For Previous Cancellation

If you’re a “Looney Tunes” fan, you’ll know the story behind “Coyote vs ACME” and its struggle for a release date. After years of uncertainty, the animated film is finally coming to theatres later this year.

On 15th April 2026 (Wednesday), “Coyote vs ACME” opened its official social media accounts before sharing the long-awaited announcement of the film’s theatrical release date. According to the official poster, the movie will be released globally on 28th August 2026 (Friday). The film follows Wile E. Coyote as he teams up with attorney Kevin Avery to sue ACME for allegedly selling him faulty products that resulted in his many failed attempts to hunt the Road Runner.

The movie stars Will Forte, John Cena and Lana Connor, with story by Samy Burch, James Gunn and Jeremy Slater, and Dave Green as director. Notably, “Coyote vs ACME” have been in development for over a decade, with production mostly complete by early 2023. However, Warner Bros. infamously shelved the film in late 2023 to obtain a tax write-off following its merger with Discovery.

Understandably, fans criticised the move, prompting the media conglomerate to reverse its decision and allow the filmmakers to seek other distributors. Ketchup Entertainment ultimately acquired the rights to the film in March 2025 for US$50 million (approximately RM198 million), beating Netflix, Amazon and Paramount. Ketchup Entertainment also has distribution rights to Warner Bros. Animation’s “The Day The Earth Blew Up”.

Funnily enough, the team behind “Coyote vs ACME” also poked fun at Warner Bros. Discovery with their first teaser. In the video, Wile E. Coyote holds his iconic picket signs to say “Happy Tax Day” and “Check your write-offs”, an obvious dig at the studio’s previous decision to shelve the movie. The teaser also announced that the film’s official trailer will be released next week.

Given how long it took for the movie to confirm a release date, it’s no surprise that fans are excited to see the movie in theatres. The movie will also premiere in Malaysia at Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) locations.

CURE Bali Opens At Regent Bali Canggu, Bringing A New Expression Of Modern European-Asian Seaside Dining

Set within the newly-launched Regent Bali Canggu, CURE Bali is now open. Created by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh, the restaurant introduces a dining experience where modern European technique meets the depth and vibrancy of Asian flavours, shaped by Bali’s coastal setting and warm hospitality.

“CURE has always been about the balance between heritage and discovery,” says Andrew Walsh, Concept Founder of CURE. “Opening in Bali felt like a natural evolution. The island carries an incredible energy, a deep culture of hospitality, and extraordinary produce. CURE Bali reflects that spirit – modern European technique expressed through Asian flavours, while embracing the warmth and generosity that defines Bali.”

A Culinary Dialogue Between Europe and Asia

At the centre of the experience is CURE Dining Room, an intimate seaside restaurant where menus are guided by European culinary technique and layered with Asian influences. Exceptional seafood, premium meats, and seasonal produce allows flavours to unfold through texture, balance, and restraint. Many dishes explore curing techniques that deepen flavour while maintaining freshness, presented through a sharing-style menu designed to encourage connection and discovery at the table.

Among the highlights is the Giant River Prawn, a dish that bridges French culinary tradition with Southeast Asian vibrancy. Charcoal-grilled prawn is paired with tom yum and a delicate prawn dumpling, finished with a rich bisque infused with butter and aromatic herbs. Another signature, Hokkaido Scallop, draws inspiration from mangut, the traditional Yogyakarta stew known for its smoky coconut broth. Here, the flavours are reinterpreted through a lighter composition of thinly sliced scallops, compressed watermelon, and spiced coconut broth finished with burnt scallion oil.

Bar Nua Presents a Ritual of Cocktails by the Sea

Complementing the dining room is a seaside bar named Bar Nua. Derived from “Nua”, the Irish word for “new”, the bar revisits classic cocktail structures through modern culinary techniques, Asian influences, and locally sourced ingredients. From sunset aperitifs to late-night conversations, the experience unfolds with ease against the backdrop of the sea, offering a relaxed counterpoint to the dining room.

Inside CURE Bali, the design remains understated and refined. The restaurant features clean lines, curated lighting, and subtle references to Nordic coastal vegetation. Tables are intentionally minimal, with focused lighting that draws attention to the food, wine, and conversation, allowing the table itself to become the centre of the experience.

Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings, the restaurant invites guests to slow down, savour, and engage with food in a way that reflects both craftsmanship and connection.

(Video) Siti Nurhaliza Reassures Fans Of Her Safety Following Car Accident At MEX Highway

It was a shock to many  Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza fans after news circulated that the beloved singer was involved in a car accident. Thankfully, the national songstress is safe and sound, albeit with some minor injuries, and has even taken to social media to reassure her worried fans.

According to reports, the singer was involved in a four-car collision that happened along the MEX Highway (KM14.2) on 16th April 2026 (Thursday). Siti and her manager, Rozi Sangdewi, who was travelling in a separate car, were returning home from a performance at Sepang when the accident occurred. Rozi later shared that Siti sustained minor injuries to her leg and has received further treatment.

It’s unclear what or who caused the accident. Nevertheless, the news sparked major concern amongst fans. Footage and pictures of Siti during the crash have also circulated online. One netizen travelling along the highway at the time of the incident shared a photo of Rozi tending to Siti while on the side of the road. Meanwhile, dashcam footage of the crash showed the star stepping out of the car, looking visibly in pain.

Siti would later share a video on her social media accounts to update on her condition and reassure fans of her safety. In the video, the 47-year-old appeared with her son Afwa, who said to the camera, “Alhamdulilah, mum is alright”. Siti would continue, thanking fans for their well-wishes and prayers, noting that she didn’t sustain any major injuries. She also mentioned that she has already been treated for her injuries and will continue resting.

Some also shared some get-well-soon wishes to her manager and staff. Funnily, a few fans even cracked innocuous jokes about the incident and pointed out how the entire nation was worried for the singer. Siti has also reacted to the jokes, laughing along with fans.

It’s reassuring to hear that Siti is safe and doing well after the accident. We also wish her a smooth recovery and hope she’ll be back to her usual self soon.

Syed Saddiq Accused Of DM-ing Other Women While Dating Bella Astillah; PA Responds

Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah’s love story has become the envy of many, with fans noting the politician’s clear adoration for the actress. However, one social media user recently made a bombshell claim, alleging Syed’s infidelity.

Earlier this week, a Threads account by the handle ‘daddyrealfacts’ accused Syed Saddiq of contacting other women while dating Bella Astillah. The anonymous user claimed that the 33-year-old sent them a DM through Instagram during Ramadan. The post also includes an image of a phone displaying the alleged DM from Syed. However, the user never disclosed any additional details of the purported interaction.

SOURCES: INSTAGRAM (@syedsaddiq) & THREADS (@amir_fiqri)

Nevertheless, the post went viral, garnering tons of attention and comments. While Syed hasn’t spoken on the allegations, his personal assistant Amir Fiqri has responded to the Threads post. In his reply, Amir called out the original poster for spreading unfounded rumours while hiding behind an anonymous account. He also revealed that he had contacted the user regarding the issue, receiving a lengthy reply in return.

However, the response notably shared no detail or proof of Syed’s supposed inappropriate actions. While the user said they want to settle the matter amicably with Amir and the politician’s team, they also claim they would forward the issue to Singaporean influencer Sarah Yasmine if necessary. Amir also asked for the user to reveal their identity, only to have them share another lengthy reply.

SOURCES: THREADS (@amir_fiqri)

Netizens have commented on the whole ordeal, expressing scepticism over the Threads user’s claims. Many also wondered if the allegation is an attempt to damage Syed’s reputation. Some also questioned their motive for reaching out to Sarah Yasmine, wondering what authority the influencer has on the matter. For those wondering, the influencer previously exposed actor Aliff Aziz’s infidelity, revealing that they were dating while he was married to Bella.

For now, the claims remain groundless, and fans continue to express support for Syed and Bella. However, we hope the former would quickly clear the air before things escalate.
